After 14 weeks, the Las Vegas Raiders are currently slated to have the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They have a huge need at quarterback, but this might not be the class to address that need so early, especially with a unicorn like Travis Hunter on the board.

Here’s a look at what we would do if we were the Raiders and the draft started today.

Round 1 (1): WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado

The Raiders have an obvious need at quarterback, but I think Hunter is too good a prospect to pass up if you have the top selection in the draft. He has earned an 88.3 PFF receiving grade and a 90.9 PFF coverage grade and has a shot to at least play a bit on both sides of the ball at the next level.

Round 2 (33): HB Kaleb Johnson, Iowa

Johnson has vaulted his way into early Day 2 contention with a strong 2024 season at Iowa, earning an 87.5 PFF rushing grade on the year. He has managed to avoid a single fumble on 240 carries in 2024, is averaging 4.4 yards after contact per carry and has forced 66 missed tackles.

Round 3 (65): WR Tre Harris, Ole Miss

The Raiders need an injection of talent at the wide receiver position after trading away Davante Adams this season, and Harris is a big play waiting to happen every time he touches the ball. He has averaged 5.15 yards per route run and 17.2 yards per reception in 2024.

Round 3 (71): QB Drew Allar, Penn State

If the Raiders do indeed pass on a quarterback with the first overall selection, then they should still look to leave Day 2 of the draft with a developmental option. Allar has been smart with the football throughout his Penn State career, with a turnover-worthy play on just 1.1% of his dropbacks.
